7-31-11 DB Dailies

Our first find of the day came at Spitting Cave, at 0732. There were chanced to see Kolohe (RW22). I'd last seen the boy on 7-25-11, again at Spitting Cave, but he has been MIA ever since. When we first saw him it was apparent that he was in travel mode, coming from further inside Maunalua Bay, and headed for the point. He did stop for 2 quicky dives, but kept going. I last saw him at 0754. 3 1/2 hours later he hauled out to Rabbit Island. About 3 hrs seems to be the norm for the 10 mile or so trip.

I got to Makai Pier at 0848 but it would be 0927 before I found my first critter, which was Nani (RK60) on the left end rock flats at Rabbit Island. She would enter the water at 1120 and I did not see her again today.
At 1122 Kolohe's little head popped up from behind the rocks at Seal Rock Inlet.  At 1129 Duke (RA12) hauled out to the water front rocks, 60 ft left of SRI. Kolohe galumphed over to join him and they spent the rest of the day together.

At 0944, Rachel called to report that Rocky (RH58) was once again at Diamond Head. Her shots showed two small breaks on her upper chest (lower throat).

I spoke with Team Billand late in the day, and they apparently had one of those extremely rare "Skunked" days.

Evening voicemail from Rachel brought new of a new arrival along side Rocky at Diamond Head. It seems that our little Max (R5EX) has made the journey from the SW quadrant, and joined Rocky this afternoon. You will also notice that Rocky has made great strides on her molt since Rachel's morning photos.

Vera spent time with R5AY &Pup today, and provided her usual oustanding shot of her day.
